Hello,
I want to be sure that I don't lose any data ever. So I was thinking of off-site backup.
I live one place, and have my family home another place. Both have good internet connections.
Do you have any recommendations?
Let's say we're talking about 5 TB of data which I want stored both places, of course with the possibility of expansion since my data is always expanding. We're talking photos and videos and other stuff I want to safely keep for the future.
I want a Genie Timeline-like solution, where it just backs up with regular intervals to the off-site backup.
I was thinking of expanding my internal storage (I have four hard drive slots. 3x 1TB HDD, and 1 256MB SSD) here where I live. Then maybe something like a NAS at my family home?
They like to disconnect everything at home during thunder storms (but I'd request the NAS stay in), so I'd like to make sure the NAS reconnects every time without problems when the internet connection comes back. Then
A NAS solution which has the capacity of up to at least 10 TB with future expansion, should be enough. I don't know if I need a surge protector. There's thunderstorms maybe 3-4 times a year at home, and seldom any huge power spikes. (I can't remember any damaged equipment at home during my growing up.)
But if it's clever having one, I would spend money on one. The most important thing is that it's a solid solution. I just don't want to break the bank for this if it's not necessary.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
